This is my favorite classic Dior, pre 1985's Poison. Dioressence is a Chypre fragrance. This is very androgynous and unisex. I am reviewing the older formula, not the one on the market now in the...

Of all of the classic Dior scents, this is my favorite! Originally this came out in 1979, and was Dior's first oriental fragrance. Around this time YSL Opium and Estee Lauder's CInnabar were...

(Speaking of the new, Les Creations version and not the vintage.) Dioressence starts off with a strong dirt note that had me wondering if I had mistakenly grabbed a patchouli single note...

Spicy, warm and powdery. Also kinda stuffy. I see why others like this perfume but there is something in it that makes me nauseous and no matter how interesting it may smell, my stomach revolts. ...

happywoman must have the wrong chemistry for perfumes of this type. While it does go on my skin as a hideous old fashioned powdery medicated horror, it quickly dries down to a...

This is a totally masculine strong chemical stench of cheap incense and dirty ashtrays. It's not green or a chypre. It's oriental and competes with Youth Dew for the all time worst smell from a...

This is for the vintage edt version in the ribbed glass bottles. Soft, warm, smooth and elegantly spiced. This somehow makes me think of mink coats and cigarettes in long holders. I love it,...

Too spicy and oldfashioned for my taste, reminds me of EL Youth-dew (which i don't like). nice staying power though.

Are you people MAD!? There were no reviews of this. Dioressence isn't in most of the stores. No one ever mentions it. The world has gone crazy. EDITED: someone pointed out where Dioressence...

My everyday scent. It is easier to find now due to the WWW. Picked it up in Europe in the early 80s and have been in love ever since. It has kick that softens to a light powdery scent - clean. The...

This is my HG fragrance. I have worn it since the 80's and wish it were easier to get. It is a spicy, sophisticated, beautiful scent and I will continue to have it in my collection until Dior...

Starts out nicely, but turns into baby powder on me-- powder that lasts (unfortunately) and lasts.

Belongs to the semi-flowery-amber family, has undergone a re-formulation, is a very strong scent indeed - nevertheless a bit dry and rather sophisticated. Does not smell like a proper oriental to...

After all the hype, I finally got a mini bottle of this scent. I like spicy scents, and it has a cinnamon note, which I usually like, but something about this scent doesn't sit well with me. I...

Well, I never really gave much credence to the old "reformulation" gripes, until smelling the old and new versions of dioressence (well, OK TBS vanilla oil would have to count too...). I actually...

The geranium+patchouli combo is evident throughout. Although it smells a tad powdery and perfumey and a bit heavy, I still love it. Meg2005 mentioned that the top note reminds her Guerlain's...

I love Dioressence. It's the perfume I wear most often. On me it's soft and floral, without being sweet or cloying and it lasts without being too strong when I first put it on. I will...
